People are mysterious things. They’re more than what meets the eye. And the more ordinary they seem, the more there is to find — layers, contradictions, histories you’d never guess at.

It’s why Behind Closed Doors was a story I had to tell. Talking frankly to suburban folk, I learned about their fantasies behind their daily lives. Opening up their other worlds, and the secrets within. Fantasies. Longings. Cravings of other kinds. Quiet rebellions. Hidden rituals. And how they’re lived out — in bedrooms, basements, motel rooms, even quiet corners of the internet.

I was privileged to not only hear them, but capture them for real. It was all about trust. Vulnerability, too. It’s what honest work is about.

"On a remote plateau in China lives a magical man who builds even more magical kites. So, to shoot a campaign for the Land Rover Discovery Sport, I put him at the heart of a magical story. A young boy wants a magical kite, so he and his father head to China to scale the plateau and find the master.

The boy is now grown up and a father himself. He wants to give his own son the same incredible adventure. At the stroke of dawn, they leave the city and head off to find the kite maker again.

And there he is. Still on the plateau. And at the peak of his craft.

A storytelling project with scores of stories in one. People, travel, mystery, unknown cultures and a car journey of a lifetime.

Magical heaven on a plateau."

Even in an age where anyone can manipulate anything at a whim, fact still beats fiction. As a race, we’re programmed to recognise truths. It’s why the world’s greatest brands have been built on them.

Look at Jason’s images and you can smell the air by seeing it. Sense a joy in a mind by staring a face in the eyes. Hear birdsong looking at a row of trees. Touch the sweat on a brow by noticing it. Visually and beautifully, Jason tells the truth. And that is all communication really has to do to succeed.
